Looks great! I really love the extendable arms to grab the RCs in the middle! Also, as a little side note, great work as always on the neatness of the control board!

Fantastic video and robot as always

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

Awesome robot! Where did you guys buy those constant force springs?

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

Love the crossbow design, we had a similar idea

and that skyhawk logo is AMAZING

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

That's an amazingly high quality reveal video (and an equally amazing robot).

I would assume that they are from Vulcan Spring. Each team can get 6 free springs if you visit their site: http://info.vulcanspring.com/first-robotics-competition

We have a couple on our robot this year.

Yesterday, I saw a picture of the front of your robot with the name/logo Skyhawk on FB.
Once I saw that I knew.....
We had members unofficially call ours "Condor" for similar reasons.:)
Thank God we decided to put on cabled turnbuckles for bracing.

Great looking robot design, quality and craftsmanship.

See you in Hawaii.

Amazing reveal video (as always) and equally as great robot.
Looking forward to seeing it in competition!

I absolutely love the extendable arms as this is a genius idea to maximize the score as you said. The more totes and cans = the more points

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

#rollerclaw... seriously, love the 'universal' roller claw, especially because it looks like it'll be so rare this year.

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

Awesome video and robot as always. What recording equipment/software did you use?

After watching the video a few times, I noticed that there aren't any shots of SkyHawk picking up more than one tote/recycling container. Is this just a coincidence or did you design it that way?

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

Love the production, as always.

Curious - did the number labels on your PDP come orange, instead of the usual green?

Re: Team 610 2015 Release Video: Skyhawk
 

We're able to pick up ~4 totes and a bin at a time, but it gets a little sketchy if we have to place it on top of other stacks of totes. While testing, we found that doing cycles of 1 stack onto the Scoring Platform were more efficient, due to how cramped it is in between the STEP and the Platform.
